I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Google (New York, NY) in Aug 2021
Interview
I had 3 interviews. The first two were phone interviews. They consisted of general personality questions. The third interview was in person and was all technical questions. Overall, not a bad process.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 months. I interviewed at Google (Atlanta, GA) in Nov 2021

Very friendly and supportive interviewers. Questions were mainly from past experience and behaviour relates questions. HR were also supportive in preparation for interview. It's a great experience to interview with Google.
